| 0:00.0 | The So, Hi everyone. Welcome to Red Nation Podcast podcast I'm Jen Marley and today we are |
| 0:36.8 | visit we are joined by the founders of unsettling Mormonism we're gonna talk |
| 0:42.4 | about Mormonism today calling him to a territory |
| 0:45.0 | and as always please subscribe to our Patreon |
| 0:48.0 | we have a lot coming up as Red Nation |
| 0:50.0 | getting ready for our annual No Dead Natives campaign where we do a lot of street outreach and support our sheltered relatives. |
| 1:00.0 | So, shall we just dive into it? Would you like to introduce yourselves, Kobe and Nick? |
| 1:05.0 | I'm Nick, one of the co-founders of Unsettling Mormonism. |
| 1:10.0 | Went to school to be an artist and now kind of see myself as more of an amateur historian and propagandist. |
| 1:17.0 | And I was born and raised in Utah and I'm, my whole family line is Mormon all the way back to 1884. |
| 1:27.0 | And so this was kind of my way of learning where my identity and ideologies grew from and then finding that there was a lot of stuff I never learned growing up that I felt like my people should know. |

| 2:14.3 | And then after talking, really started kind of looking more into my roots and my ancestral roots. I also have Mormon ancestors all the way back from the like the pioneers quote unquote and something that I never thought about looking into or really examining that and what brought me here to this place. |
| 2:50.0 | And so, yeah, started doing that research and that work with Nick and yeah. Awesome, well thank you again for being with us. So I wanted to start with just like a general question just for my own inquiry because I know very little about Mormonism and what I do know is very, as we say Yodid. And so I just want to ask you all, you know, what is Mormonism and what are some |
| 3:08.8 | misconceptions about it? If you can maybe give it just like a really super brief Mormonism 101. |
